News Sustainable Development Goals Exhibition (Sunway Campus Kuala Lumpur)

[Nicholas Kang]

My college's library recently had an exhibition on sustainable development goals. Thought it would be nice to share some interesting things here.

Some very nice books about sustainable development.

Nice posters.

See how your country performed in the 2017 SDG Global Index.

(I was shocked to see the United States ranked low, even lower then Cuba and several eastern European countries. :uhh

How did Malaysia perform?

This is where I live!

There is an upcoming online workshop on sustainable development. You guys can join as well (for online courses only though.)

I cannot find any link to any website in the papers provided. Will update the link here once I got it.

And some nice short documentaries about the different aspects of sustainable development.

The view from the end of the exhibition.

See the complete collection of pictures taken here.

Enjoy!

Well, placing Germany on rank 6 there was likely a calculation error. But looking at the report, I can only find that it is rather unfair towards the USA in the selection of the KPIs...

I don't think so. With the current rating system, germany's investment into renewable energy should put it quite high, since the currently still existing problems with distribution and storage don't give you any penalties as far as I know.

Actually - if you look at the detailled report for Germany, the renewable energy isn't really helping us much. We are about to terribly miss our Kyoto goals in the future.
